How to remove and / or manage multiple versions of python in OS X 10.10.3

I installed the Python IDE Spyder. For me, this is a great development environment. Some, like in this process, I managed to install three versions of Python on my system. They can be arranged as follows:

  • Version 2.7.6 from the OS X terminal;
  • Version 2.7.8 from the Spyder console; and
  • Version 2.7.9rc1 from the IDL window.

I have a problem (I think) that several versions prevent Spyder from working correctly.

So, how can I confirm that 2.7.6 is the latest version supported by Apple and there is an easy way (“silver bullet”) to remove other versions from my system.

Hope this is the right forum for this question. If not for me, I would appreciate suggestions that I could ask for help.

I want to keep my life simple and develop python software in the Spyder IDE. I'm not an OS X guru, and I really don't want to get into the hard work of the command line. To this end, I just want to remove / remove the “unofficial versions” of Python. Of course, there should be an easy way to do this - perhaps "remove Python-2.7.9rc1" or some of them. The problem is that I hesitate to try this because of the fear that it will destroy my system. Help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

(Spyder dev here) There is no easy way to do what you ask for, at least for the version of Python that comes with Spyder.
